Athletic Brewing Company
A brewery devoted entirely to non-alcoholic beer, founded in 2017 by Bill Shufelt and John Walker. They began test-brewing in Stratford, Connecticut, working through more than a hundred batches on homebrew equipment before building a brewery around the process. Production now runs on two coasts: Milford, Connecticut, and San Diego, California, where the 2021 expansion took the site to 200,000 barrels of capacity. The beers are brewed without alcohol from the outset rather than dealcoholised afterwards. The company is a certified B Corporation and gives two percent of sales to trail restoration.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
